Red Lion in Breckland - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Perfect little country pub, low ceilings, bright, warm, bar and restaurant areas. Great for a little lunch or party. Visited on a Sunday for lunch ..

I would have given a 4.5 if I could! First time here and we weren’t disappointed, the staff were very friendly and attentive and the food was very good, my reason for less than a 5 was the main was served on a stone cold plate! I’ve not eaten in a restaurant that doesn’t warm the plates for years.

We had our family Christmas meal here. We were a group of 16. We booked in advance and the menu looked really good . We had Calamari as a starter. This was crispy, tasty and well presented. We had Pork beef and venison stew for our main. This was brilliant! There was loads of meat in it and the dumplings were so tasty. To finish this off, we had cheesecake for dessert. This did not disappoint, probably the best cheesecake I have had from a restaurant.

Popped in for Sunday lunch on the way to Norwich. Had a fantastic meal. Everything from start to finish was exceptionally good and the roast was huge. If you're in area or even 30 mins away it's well worth a visit!

We where visiting Norfolk & recommended the Red Lion by our hostess. It offered a good menu with a choice of gluten free for me (wouldn’t be writing this review if it didn’t!). The service was friendly, polite & relaxed. We were asked if there were any other allergies or intolerances other than gluten - to me, always a good sign that there is an understanding of requirements. The food was delicious & plentiful! Hubby is not GF & tucked into a seafood salad platter, I had the GF chicken with pulled pork - so tasty! The only downside was we were too full to have desert, they looked amazing! ;-)

Well The Red Lion what can I say , lovely looking pub , exterior and interior, fantastically friendly staff and even the locals are friendly as well . This pub was a second choice for a meal but to be honest I’m glad we had to change venues, though I know the food would have been good in the previous pub as well . Really did stumble across this pub but what a fantastic food venue , old but with a modern twist and the prices were very reasonable, 4 of us had different kinds of burger and two had desserts, with coffee and drinks worked out roughly £25 a head can’t rate this place high enough and will certainly be going back again

In a nice little town there is this nice pub where staff is great and food is very good We had no reservation but the man told us to take a drink and wait and less than 20 minutes after we had a table I took the breaded chicken and loved it My husband had the burger The fries must be home made as they are delicious Very good strawberry cream and meringue dessert If you’re around then come no hesitation

We booked for 16 people originally to celebrate my 60th birthday. Numbers reduced due to Covid. Paul and his team were very helpful and the 10 of us who made the evening were extremely well looked after. It was lovely to have a separate vegan menu with different dishes other than the norm and there was plenty of choice for non-vegans. Nice seasonal menu which changes every few weeks. All in all , great food surrounded by good friends made for a very special evening. We will be back.

Enjoyed our evening at the Red Lion. We were looked after really well and enjoyed our food and drinks very much. Tasty, well cooked, good portions. Recommended.

Had the most amazing evening here. Lovely atmosphere, gorgeous food and brilliant staff! There were 12 of us and our food came out all together, piping hot and beautifully presented. Thank you for accommodating us so well and a huge thanks to Julia for making our night! We all highly recommend this place. Watch out, we'll be back!

Great food, drinks and atmosphere. Service unique and brilliant, can’t wait to go back. Thoroughly recommend.

Came for lunch with my parents and daughter and the food was delicious! Menu was not extensive but I personally prefer a good choice and done well as opposed to a vast menu done poorly. We went off menu a little for my daughter but it was no trouble for the kitchen and the server was more than accomodating. Will definitely be back!

Stopped in for a quick lunch while staying in the area. Recommended by the owner of the Airbnb we stayed at and reviews here, great meal, lovely atmosphere, staff really friendly. Highly recommended.

We live in the village and are very impressed with the new extensive Vegan menu as well as the ordinary menu..not many Restaurants offer such a comprehensive choice for vegetarians/vegans. The food is always of a high standard and our friends were very impressed with their food. Service efficient as normal.

We decided on this place for dinner whilst on holiday in the area having read about it online. The food was delicious along with beautiful presentation, good friendly service and lovely surroundings. We chose the sea bass and rouge burger, both came promptly and tasted as good as it looked. We then treated ourselves to a Eton mess and sticky toffee pudding - good choices too. Lovely place - would not hesitate in recommending this to anyone.

My family and I were visiting Norfolk for the October half term holiday. After some searching online I came across this lovely little village pub about 25 minute drive from where we were staying (Thetford Forest Lodges). The pub is very nicely decorated and is welcoming. Staff were following covid rules. As it was Sunday we all wanted roasts, they usually do 2 meat options plus a veggie option. The roasts available were pork and beef. Two of us had beef and one had pork. My son ordered the burger fries and beans (he enjoyed his meal) The meat on the roasts was perfectly cooked, really decent portion. The plate came with the meat, Yorkshire, stuffing, lovely fluffy but crispy roast potatoes and gravy, the veg and cauliflower cheese came out seperatly which was also perfectly cooked. We didn’t have time for pudding as we were travelling back home. Would highly recommend. Very good value for money, the roast was £12. We would return again :)

What a great pub and absolutely gorgeous food. Excellent service and very friendly. The chicken and pulled pork dish was Devine as was the steak and Stilton crumble. Yummylicious

I have visited the Red Lion on and off for 20 years and over time depending on the owner- it has delighted and disappointed. However dinner with friends on Saturday night was a masterclass in how a great local village pub should be run. The ambience was right, the lighting was right and the best surprise was the timing was right.. that unknown gap between sitting down and being asked to order, between ordering and drinks arriving, food arriving etc - they just nailed it; so rare these days. The food was exactly as was hoped for. This pub has just gone back on my list of local pubs to frequent. You should definitely visit.

Just had a delicious meal at Caston Red Lion. I had the chicken pulled pork, which is my absolute favourite, followed by a sharing chocolate brownie and ice cream. It looked like a work of art and tasted amazing!

1st visit by my wife and myself since we moved to the area 2 months ago and not disappointed. Delicious food..chicken goujons for my wife and brie and spinach topped mushroom for me followed by a thai veg curry...which they were only too happy to add chicken to and a perfectly cooke rib eye steak with perfectly cooked chips and wonderful onion rings!!...We're gonna come back....soon!!

It had been 2 years since our last visit but the Red lion has only got better. The service from arrival was attentive and friendly ahearing to new Covid-19 measures. The family mainly had roast dinners, I had the roast pork which was cooked perfectly with all the trimmings equally cooked to perfection. The children's menu was again simple but delious and of very good quality. The highlight was the apple and blackcurrant crumble which is the best crumble I have ever eaten! Highly recommended for a Sunday lunch.

I went here for my 60 th birthday meal celebration after going to Go Ape.The owners were very helpful especially as we were late. Such delicious food, Sunday lunch, between us we had beef, great flavour and cooked properly with care so it wasn't dry, pork and fish , plenty of veg, gravy,crispy potatoes worth all the trimmings. Yummy homemade desserts too. All absolutely delicious !We sat outside in a warm and toasty marquee, great service throughout. Good wine and drink selection. I'm really looking forward to eating there again and don't hesitate to recommend the Red Lion , excellent venue, Thank you thank you thank you for helping to make my day even more special : )

Today we had a delicious Hunters Chicken Burger takeaway from the new Autumn Menu. Lovely juicy chicken, bacon, cheese and barbecue sauce in a toasted bap with loads of fries. The Red Lion is a hidden gem in Caston and definitely worth a visit.

Decided to book the Red Lion after not having visited for over a year....what a shame we left it so long.They have laid out a Gazebo at the front of the pub which ensures everbody is safely separated. The down side is parking is at a minimum so you have to work around that...no big issue though.The food was absolutely fantastic....two of us had the pork roast dinner and the other two had the chilli beef salad. Both dishes were just perfect. We all said we would come back and have the same meals again!Service was also attentive and well done.We will not be leaving it a year before our next visit that’s for certain.

We had a marvelous Sunday lunch today, the pub is beautiful, spotless and tastefully furnished to compliment the beauty of the building. We had baked Camembert with homemade bread to dip in!! Very well presented with even a tiny cut in the hot cheese so it Oooozed YUM!! We had 2 glasses of lovely Merlot served in just the right glasses, (not that im fussy!!) We then had our main course, Roast Beef, the Yorkshires were delightful, they were a pudding rather than an oversized "whacker" on the plate full of fresh air that you get in so many gastro pubs now days... nor were they a shop bought yorkie named after someones Aunt the yorkies had so much flavour as did the roast potatoes, beef was nicely cooked. My delight was the Cauli cheese sadly not seen much anymore in many pubs and this one was exceptional and because my Hubby dose not eat Cauli, they packed the rest up for me to enjoy later at home WOW!! , there were buttered greens, red cabbage, brocolli and carrot to keep him happy!! The service was slick and efficient with happy welcoming staff! We will definatley return for a roast again even though its an hours drive from us, and in the summer will trek down for an evening meal. Places like this now days are few and far between. Thanks all!! Shalom x

We walked in without a booking, no tables free but was soon found a two seat table which was great , drinks, menu, very nice evening of red wine with a couple of nice rib eyes . Very nice meal , staff very helpful.

Delicious - everything perfectly cooked & tasty. Great service. Welcoming. Dog-friendly. Looking forward to a repeat visit

Fantastic food in a relaxed and homely atmosphere, this place is definitely worth a visit. The roast dinners were excellent, the pork came with crackling and stuffing and the beef was a massive, tasty portion. The manager was a lovely, friendly lady and had us laughing all afternoon with her chat and banter. We could not have asked for better service and will certainly eat here again. If I could give 6 stars I would!

Excellent Sunday lunch today, amazing roast beef, and all the trimmings. Accompanied by a delicious glass of Merlot. Portion size was just right, lovely atmosphere and great service. Will definitely be back soon

Two super Pre Christmas turkey dinners and one beef. Plenty of succulent turkey and nice veggies, roasties yum, Beef tasty Yorkshire lovely. Followed by fruit crumble, friendly helpful staff and nice setting. Highly recommended. 👍👌👏

First visit to this unassuming bit smartly presented pub, and certainly not our last. Service with a sense of humour (all too rare) was matched by food that was perfectly cooked, well judged for quantity and served hot. Really good value for money too. We were surprised to get a table, and delighted when the meal so good. Already looking for excuses to go back

Amazing food. The menu was varied but not too big. Service was great and we were well looked after. The pub was lovely inside

Superb! Great service, great food, great drink. A lovely pub with a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Food very good from start to finish. Excellent choices all cooked and presented beautifully. Waitress, friendly, funny and very helpful. Thoroughly recommend, we will return.

Had an absolutely delicious lunch of herb crushed cod loin, and classic Bakewell tart during Norfolk Restaurant week at Caston Red Lion. Thoroughly recommend this lovely village pub.

The Red Lion at Caston ticked all the boxes, local, friendly, good service and delicious food what more can you ask for when catching up with friends. We would recommend this restaurant and will be back.

We visited this restaurant as they are taking part in Norfolk Restaurant week. Its clearly a nice little pub popular with the locals. The service and the atmosphere was good. The food was simple yet really tasty , and at a good price on the restaurant week menu. We will definitely go back!

We visited this restaurant as they are taking part in Norfolk Restaurant week. What a great choice. The service and the ambiance were excellent. However, more importantly the food was amazing. We will definitely be back aambiance we

Family meal of ten booked that morning. Lovely food, only had a main pork roast dinner but came out hungry.

We decided to eat out as it was a special anniversary. We chose the Red Lion on the recommendation of friends and were not disappointed.There was a nice busy, friendly atmosphere in the bar which served excellent beer. We were shown to our seats and served promptly and the food was excellent. Mussels followed by the BLT burger and braised d beef with dumplings. No room for pud. Perfect service and great food.

Spent an evening last week during a visit to Norfolk. Booked it on recommendation of Helen at the Lodge Scoulton where we were staying. The main reason we booked was because it was dog friendly, and we had our meal in the bar that was lovely and cosy. The food was lovely and the staff were great and even one of the locals made a big fuss over Holly are dog. Wished we had gone earlier so that we could have gone again, but the were closed on the Monday which was our last night. Highly recommended

I have been wanting to try this pub out for ages after hearing really good reports from friends.

Called in at the Red Lion for an early evening drink to find the bar packed out. Even though it was extremely busy we got to the bar with no problem and was served straight away by the friendly bar staff. Although we didn't eat we noticed that the restaurant was very busy so it would probably be best to book.

Attractive nearby village to home, enticed me and wife to visit the pub. Welcoming, friendly and attentive owner (Paul) served our drinks, a smile and the small menu (always a good sign to me, showing that the Chef focuses on what they do best). I ordered the beef lasagne, it was piping hot and perfectly seasoned, a really very tasty, good looking dish. Served with crunchy garlic bread & a fresh, crisp rocket & Parmesan salad. My wife ordered the Fish Pie, which looked amazing, full of perfectly cooked salmon, cod & haddock in a creamy wine & parsley sauce, heavenly said the wife. We were too full to try the deserts on offer, but noticed glowing comments about them from a neighbouring table.

We called in the early afternoon to make a reservation for the evening and were made very welcome. The pub had a lovely atmosphere and the food was to a high standard, freshly prepared and lovely. Highly recommended.

We were really looking forward to eating here after reading the reviews. I booked a table a good few weeks in advance. Unfortunately it seems like not being a local meant that customer service went out the window. We were ignored when we turned up. When we were eventually shown our table we squashed in a corner. We waited 15mins for them to take our order and even then I had to ask someone....we hadnt even got a drink and even then he was walking off before I'd ordered mine. The food was lovely. We ordered dessert but it was only when we went to pay that I saw mine should have come with icecream....he would tell the chef but no discount! Even getting to pay I was blanked until someone else stood behind me (as I knew there was no point waiting at the table). I have never experienced service so rude as this, which is a shame as it over shadowed the nice food. We should have walked out at the start but staying in the village and not knowing the area, we didn't know where else to go. We had only come here to eat at Benedict's in Norwich for my birthday, so least we know we will have a great time there and be treated like any other customer. Shame on you Red Lion for making us feel like dirt!

An exceptional Sunday lunch. Perfectly cooked vegetables and crispy potatoes in lovely surroundings. Friendly staff. Will certainly visit often.

One of our favourite places for midweek supper or a great Sunday lunch. Great food and hospitable service in very lovely rural surroundings.

Came here on a Friday evening with my husband and two children (aged 6 and 9). I phoned mid afternoon to book a table which I was able to do easily.

My partner and I took a visiting business colleague for supper . Although the menu choices are limited we all found something we wanted to order . The prawn starter with pineapple salsa was a little disappointing and would be better if the prawns had a bit of colour and served with some toasted sourdough. The steak main was delicious, the stuffed mushrooms divine and the smoked haddock pie ( a deep quiche) tasty and satisfying.

You'll get a warm welcome in this delightful village pub lost somewhere in Norfolk. Well worth the search. Great selection of beers and varied menu well prepared and served.

You just can’t fault it. Week after week, visit after visit the food, ambience and customer service is really fantastic. It’s good wholesome local produce delivered in an unfussy way.

We came here on a recommendation and arrived at 6pm on a Wednesday night. The staff were extremely hospitable and we

Proper old style pub with a fantastic restaurant. We had booked to stay in the village and were recommended to try the Red Lion, but were told it gets very busy so not to go too late. We duly walked up at 6pm when we knew the restaurant would open and were greeted warmly and shown to our table. Hubby had the beef cobbler and I had a filo goats cheese tart, both meals were piping hot, looked fantastic on the plate and tasted phenomenal! I was absolutely stuffed after my meal but hubby followed his with a cheese plate which again was more then generous. Whilst we were eating the restaurant filled very quickly so I could see why we were advised to go sonnet than later. After we vacated the table we went through to the bar which was also fairly busy but not too packed, we sat at a table and I discovered the box of board games supplied by the pub we had a really great evening playing draughts and snakes and ladders. My only regret is that we don’t live nearer as would definitely visit again and again.

We were recommended to come to the Red Lion but we found that the menu was rather restricted and seemed most suitable for young people. There were not many healthy options and no fish dishes - only fish and chips. My two teenage boys enjoyed it but I felt there was not much choice on the menu for my husband and me. Staff were lovely and service was good.

We drove out to find this Pub, and so glad we did. Really friendly welcome and service. The Menu and Specials looked really delicious.

Great central village location - very picturesque & your archetype village pub. The decor inside is beautiful and well done - the right mix of clean and modern but old world elements. We preordered our food as it was near to Christmas and having not been before we didn’t know what to expect. We were a party of 10 and everyone enjoyed the food greatly - lots of ‘mmm’s’ and appropriate approval sounds. All the dishes were presented well with perfect sized portions - full and satisfied but just a little room for a delicious desert. Prices are reasonable - not cheap but appropriate for the quality of the food - around £20- £25 per head for 2 courses.

We looked at several local pubs and restaurants before deciding on The Red Lion at Caston to celebrate my wife's 70th Birthday with 37 family and friends, and what a very good choice it was.

I do like the Red Lion and wish to continue to support a (relatively) local establishment, but they can never seem to get it totally right, very disappointing.

A lovely little establishment, re-furbished, tastefully done. A small, but varied menu, old favourites, and some new to delight.

Popped in on a whim for a drink with 6 friends on Sunday afternoon and ended up staying for lunch. The staff were lovely, the food unbelievably good and the whole atmosphere and environment perfect. The owner couldn’t do enough for us we were well looked after. The bill was very reasonable. And bonus the toilets were immaculate!

Very friendly and polite helpful staff and the food is amazing well worth the money, first time here and would definitely go back. Would have given more stars but only aloud five

So pleased we choose the Red lion for my birthday dinner, we arrived on a chilly March night to a very warm welcome from the friendly staff , even though the restaurant was full (fantastic for a Wednesday night) we were looked after in a professional and relaxed manner. There were 8 in our group so can’t remember what everyone had except 8 empty plates at the end , I had the scallops to start and steak in whiskey sauce to follow, both fantastic and generous portion size. I was fortunate not to pay the bill myself as I was being treated , however I did see the total and thought it was extremely good value for this quality of food. For me the night ticked all the boxes. In reference to a previous review, I can’t understand nothing they said. Maybe the customers where having an off night! Definitely can’t wait to return .

Decided to visit for lunch prior to potentially booking for a party.The introduction was to be told the menu was reduced so decided on The “Special” for £13.50 which was advertised as seafood including prawns,tuna and salmon with a avocado salad. What arrived was tinned tuna,three prawns,salmon flakes that could just be found and a microscopic amount of avocado. Service was painfully slow. I mean 25 minutes for a very ordinary salad ? After complaining the bill was reduced. We will never go there again.

Both food and atmosphere are heavenly - not had Sunday lunch yet, but definitely worth a visit if you love good honest pub food.

We treated Grandma to an Easter Sunday meal at the Red Lion and having booked ahead our table was ready on arrival.

What a beautiful village pub, with fresh flowers that greeted you throughout the Red Lion .

Staying with family who are local and rather than cook at home visited the delightful local pub.

Great food, couldn’t recommend that enough, the hosts were very accommodating as well. The only issue I had was that there didn’t appear to be a price list for the drinks within view. The interior itself feels very homely and is very intriguing

On our recent stay at nearby Thompson, after a days boating on the Norfolk Broads, my wife and I arrived at The Red Lion where we were warmly welcomed. We were instantly impressed by the high standard of the place with its wood beams and tasteful decor. After warming up near the log burning stove in the bar with a nice drink each we moved into the restaurant and ordered food. I had the braised merlot beef and cobblers and my wife had the chicken with pulled pork. Meals arrived in good time for quality food and we both really enjoyed them... nothing went to waste! We shared a white chocolate and strawberry cheesecake which was beautiful. We can’t wait to return on our next trip! Well done to everyone!

Visited for evening meal whilst staying with friends over the New Year. Excellent from start to finish. Nicely decorated interior, good hosts, good beer & wine, & a top notch menu. Excellent steaks. Hopefully we will return next time we visit our friends

This is a beautifully decorated village inn. It manages to mix the old building, with modern finishes and decoration, this is NOT a dark old pub! The bar is separate from the dining room, meaning that it retains it's attraction if you just want to pop into the bar for a drink in front of the wood burner.

Went here last evening as a group upon recommendation. The food was fantastic, clean plates all round!! The deserts were substantial and delicious (couldn't finish mine..white chocolate cheesecake).

My wife and I had Sunday lunch and it was very good the food and the service , the selection of ales very good as well

We looked forward to eating at the Red lion,as we hadn't been for years.people had told it was fantastic, unfortunately I didn't find the same experience.the staff were friendly and efficient,but the food ,although good ,was not great as I had been told.in my opinion the food was average at best.a nice pub for the odd meal but would not be racing back.the prices were to high for what we had compared with other restaurants in norfolk.

I haven't eaten here for a while and I was pleasantly surprised by the choice of menu and the quality of the food. My meal was delicious and everyone else enjoyed their meal too! We will definitely be coming back in the future.

Visited the Red Lion at lunchtime with my brother. The pub is beautifully decorated and the staff were very friendly! My brother had the lamb and mint burger and the chocolate orange brownie and I had the stuffed portobello mushrooms and sticky toffee pudding. Both were delicious and very reasonably priced! Will definitely visit again and recommend.

A very large party dominated about half the restaurant, the kitchen failed to cope with the workload with the result that we waited almost an hour after ordering (which was less than prompt in itself) before any food arrived. Booking others at about the same time as this big party was a huge mistake by management.

Excellent food, great service. Cannot recommend them highly enough. One of the best places to eat in Norfolk

Cuatro personas diferentes y todos tenía comidas eran excelentes. Caliente, bien presentados y deliciosos. Sin duda, volveremos que será nuestra tercera visita. Primero era para las bebidas. Super pequeño pub con un personal amable y un buen chef.

Excellent meal and service. Welcoming environment and a reasonably priced meal and wine. The pulled lamp rump was delicious. Well worth a visit.

We arrived on the off chance that we could get a table. We were warned that we might have a wait, we didn't really wait very long at all. Hubby had the chicken and pulled pork and I had the portabello mushrooms both utterly delicious. This is somewhere we have wanted to visit for a while but it is not open every day. Decor is simple. Tables are solid. Staff pleasant. There is a good range on the menu and specials board which would suit most dietary requirements.Will definitely visit again - few more things on the menu I want to try.

Called at this lovely pub in Caston for lunch. The food was excellent especially the chicken , pulled pork, cheese red onion slaw, rocket and fries. Tho cod /chip, & scampi/fries had by other were also very good.Staff very accomadating and friendlyCheck opening times but well worth it

1st time here. Arrived 10 minutes before opening but we were invited inside and offered drinks nevertheless. Had the chicken and pulled pork and it was incredible. Best meal I've had in a long time! Sticky toffee pudding was a work of art. Recommend this pub all day long

Lovely meal.had potato and leek soup with potato skins for starter then roast sirloin beef dinner.really lovely.the desserts looked lovely as I was full from starter and main I declined dessert.the staff were friendly and helpful.the pub itself is very nice.lovely oak tables and set out nicely.prices were good as there was a good helping of food.definately go again.

My husband booked for us to go for an evening meal on a Saturday night as we had not been since it changed hands years ago. We looked on-line to see the menu but was only able to see a picture of the specials board. We parked directly outside and had a friendly greeting. The restaurant was almost full bar three tables which filled up whilst we were there. The decor is lovely and tables were not too close together. There seems to be a mix of older families, couples and large group tables there. We didn't have a starter but had fish and chips and the belly pork, both of which were really nice. We both had puddings, spotted dick and cheesecake which were nice, with larger and glass of wine cost £46. We felt the price was right for the meal. It was nicer than a pub, not fine dining, but somewhere in between. It looked like it may have been husband and wife running the restaurant who were both very friendly and welcoming. I would definitely go back, either as a couple, with our older boys or with my group of girlfriends. There were outside tables where locals were having a drink. The menu was nice and varied; with a specials board too. Food was hot, served quickly and was plentiful. No complaints at all and would definitely be back. Nice to have this so close to where we live.

Pleasant little pub, many changes of ownership but surviving well. Good value Sunday Lunch with an excellent beer (or two).

While visiting Norfolk I have had two very impressive meals at the Red Lion. My first visit was on 30 April when I first arrived in the U.K. My sister and brother in Law had booked lunch for us informing the staff when booking that I was vegan. I must admit I was not expecting a special dish , just maybe a adjustment to a meal already on the menu, but they kindly responded by making me a delicious asparagus risotto . My family enjoyed their meals stating they were excellent to.The staff made us feel very welcome with big smiles and a happy attitude, offering us a drink and menu as soon as we arrived . The resturant is spotless, and tastefully decorated and service impeccable.We also attended the 'vegan night' they had a week later, and that was excellent, something I never expected in a country pub. The resturant has been full each time I have been there, and I hope this wonderful place will always do well, it deserves too.Thank you very much Jan from Australia

Five of us visited The Red Lion tonight to celebrate a special birthday. All of us ate really well . Three of us enjoyed the rib eye steaks, which were cooked to perfection.We were looked after by Gemma , who was very attentive, nothing was too much trouble for her.This was a lovely experience, which we all enjoyed.Highly recommended !

Having Recently moved to a village not far from the Red Lion, we found ourselves walking here every weekend for a quick drink. Last week we booked a table for dinner for ourselves and 2 friends and found the food to be absolutely fantastic, especially the oven baked camembert and game cobbler. Menu and food well worthy of rosettes.And with friendly and welcoming staff this is indeed a little gem in the countryside.

We visited as part of a weekend away to Attleborough and visited the pub at numerous occasions during the weekend. The pub was lovely to go to for an early doors so we decided to book for Sunday lunch which we certainly didn't regret. The roast was amazing; the turkey was perfectly done and the gravy and Yorkshire pudding was to die for! Will definitely be heading back for a roast soon!!

Four of us visited on Saturday 11th of March which was my Birthday meal and we all really enjoyed ourselves unfortunately we had rush away at the end due to family circumstances.But we will be back because its very nicely decorated inside with a great atmosphere and the food was really tasty 3 of us had the Game cobbler which I would really recommend.And the Staff were very friendly we cant wait to go back and I would like to get some of my Artwork( Paintings) on the walls.Thanks very much for a very enjoyable evening.Johno.

Wow, I organised for my daughter to have her 18th in the bar, we had a buffet and cake. Everything exceeded my expectations, the cake is out of this world, relaxed atmosphere, buffet was just classy and it was truly a great night. Thank you to all the staff that worked and made so special.

Have known about the Red Lion in Caston for some time but over the past 3 or 4 years it has been open, closed and under new management several times. So it's been off our radar. Impromptu dinner choice tonight. Current management been here about a year and a half. Quiet Thursday evening. Fabulous menu. Really tasty choices. We had squid special and melting Camembert followed by meltingly delicious lamb and game cobbler. Then had to have crumble and sticky toffee pudding! Really well presented food. Relaxed surroundings and cosy bar. This pub deserves to be much busier and more people should know about it and give it a try. They are open Wednesday to Sunday. Well worth a visit.

This was the best burger I have ever eaten in a pub! Truly fantastic! Recommend to anybody! My wife also enjoyed her meal, fish and chips, but I think I won!

Just returned from a meal for four at this great pub in the country . Lovely bar and restaurant with good wines and beers . All the food was beautifully cooked and the service was very good too , the staff being very approachable and friendly . The pub creates a really enjoyable ambiance via its decoration and different seating ..My wife and I will be back again especially as it only takes ten minutes to drive here from Hingham !

Lovely country pub restaurant in the village of Caston. The pub itself is beautifully decorated and feels relaxed and welcoming. The house white wine was delicious, a great start. We ordered a starter of filo tart with goats cheese and spinach followed by sea bass on a chorizo and butter bean cassoulet with tempura samphire both of which were delicious and beautifully presented. A dish of gruyere and pea risotto with scallops was also ordered and it was again very tasty.Dessert was sticky toffee pudding which was so beautifully decorated, a perfect picture on a plate.The prices are slightly high but you get what you pay for.All in all I couldn't fault the food and will definitely return.

the building and decoration make this place look warm and welcoming but to discover that it was barely busy was a surprise. However the reception by the staff was very cool, and not particularly welcoming. Perhaps this is why it was quiet? The menu was a little disappointing and gluten free options were particularly limited with staff appearing hesitant to push the kitchen and ask about specific meals or possible adaptions. Currently only open for part of the week and with staff attitudes its unlikely to be extending anytime soon.

Pleasant surroundings and lovely staff but lunch overpriced and overcookedBeef was thin and grey looking didn't seem to be freshly sliced think it came in to the pub ready sliced as very uniform and overlooked and chewy,veg was good and service lovely.

I spent a wonderful evening at the Red Lion Caston enjoying one of their first monthly theme nights. This was a curry themed evening and the staff had clearly gone to a lot of effort.The pub itself was decorated in an Indian style which really set the mood.The food was simply superb, we had starters of poppadoms and various chutneys followed by four different curries with rice, mushroom pakoras, onion bhaji and naan breads, I was very impressed to learn that everything was homemade even the chutneys and the naan breads! The beef curry was melt in your mouth and the chicken korma was succulent. Amazingly this was all for £15!!The desert was beautifully presented and even the coffee arrived with a homemade Indian style biscuit, a delightful touch. The evening was a huge success and it was clear from the great atmosphere from the other diners that everyone enjoyed themselves. My congratulations to the chef I look forward to the next theme night.

TOTALLY DELISH! - with vegan option on the menu, even the homemade naan breads were vegan! Thank You All :)
